Best Campsites/hikes in the Okanagan?
Hey everyone, I will be taking a two week trip to the Okanagan at the end of May and was wondering if anyone has any gem campsites or hikes they'd recommend? We love camping by lakes, and if we're backcountry camping prefer not to hike more than 2 hours or so to get there...…

What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors praise Naramata Creek Park for its beautiful creek-side trail leading to impressive waterfalls. The drive through the Naramata Bench adds to the overall pleasant experience. While some find the trail easy, others note it can be moderately technical with roots, rocks, and steep sections, especially near the falls. A refreshing dip in the pool under the falls is a highlight, though caution is advised due to cold water and potential wildlife.
"Amazing. You can hear the creek (and sometimes see it) all the way up to the falls. The falls themselves are amazing. I will definitely be back to this. I need more time to climb around the falls. If the only thing I do next time is cross the creek in the high wire trapeze wires it will have been worth it."

"Nice walk in a nice surrounding. Driving through the naramata bench to get to the trail alone was a treat. Some wrote the walk was easy and I'd say not that easy. A bit technical since you mist walk over so many off ground roots and rocks and there are sections that are medium steep. Overall, a nice walk along the creek until you get to the waterfalls"

"Beautiful well maintained easy trail along the creek from Creek Park to a point then it's a bit steep to get up to the falls. About 10-15min to this point with creek views. We tried to do this with our 5.5 month old baby in a carrier but stopped at the steep part. There was another trail along the creek but we were worried it would be slippery. Looking forward to trying this again when baby is older :)"
